"Dr. Adler and her staff are amazing!!! I’d been coping with neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain stemming from a MVA, and was referred to Dr. Adler by my primary care doctor. After the first dry needling appointment, I experienced pain relief that I hadn’t felt in years. With each subsequent visit, my pain levels have decreased. Now after 5 visits, I feel like a different person. Dr. Adler is incredibly knowledgeable about the human body and so very personable. Like she really knows her stuff!!! I will never be able to thank her enough and am forever grateful to her. I strongly recommend her and her staff. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment. You will not regret it!"

"Since COVID I have had issues with my right hip. It got really tight from playing lots of tennis, sitting and driving a lot. I started to limp and the pain intensified. The quality of my everyday life was affected. I tried stretching, PT and massages (not cheap). Nothing helped. My neighbor recommended Tracey for dry needling. I was desperate so decided to try it. My eval showed that I actually had issues on my left side from a broken toe and wearing a boot which I never thought was the culprit. I was out of alignment. After 3 dry needling sessions and PT sessions that will follow your needling appointments I was released!! I could finally bring my right knee to my chest without feeling this terrible pinch in my groin! I finally walked straight without the slight limp. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner and suffered for years. If you have muscle tightness you can’t permanently release with other interventions go to them!! It’s amazing what they can do."

"Tracey’s work needling my c-section scar has made an unbelievable difference in my postpartum recovery. Before we began I couldn’t comfortably join my son on the floor for tummy time and struggled with my tightness in my hips and lower back that severely impacted my range of motion. After each session the tenderness in my scar is relieved and I can feel the difference in how much less “stuck” it feels. Im more ready to tackle stability exercises and chase after my little one. Thank you!!"

"Having been in many different renditions of various styled PT clinics-- the sports performance PTS, the traditional corporate entity clinics, and smaller, privately owned PT clinics (such as this one), it is important for potential patients here at Ortho PT Inc to understand what they're getting: outside of the stellar acumen of the highly experienced cadre of PTs and level of care, they're also getting a seamless *experience*. PT is not a one and done healthcare practice, and feeling at ease with your time in it is vital-- Ortho PT Inc takes exceptional steps to help you feel welcome and comfortable. They lead you through each step of the way, with effective pre-visit communication and intra-visit preparedness. Their facility operates in a unique service-oriented, experience-based atmosphere compared to other clinics that may align with simply a clinical atmosphere (which can be intimidating.) Would recommend!"

"I started therapy with Tracey Adler 3 weeks ago in chronic pain. She had been highly recommended by both my Neurosurgeon and Internist. I was at first skeptical about dry needling which is what she specializes in, but after just a few sessions my pain has decreased significantly. As she treats the whole person, not just spot treating, my whole body is feeling so much better. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone who is not seeing improvement with traditional exercise (Physical Therapy). The clinic works like a well-run ship. No waiting and very pleasant staff. I feel so lucky to finally have found something that works!"

"Orthopedic physical therapy helped me overcome severe back pain in 1985. I injured my back, all through the 80’s I was prescribed a number of pills, valium, Flexeril and opioids but nothing helped. Finally PT was recommended. I chose OPT and they cured my back pain. I still do the exercises and can do most house hold chores such as cutting the grass and vacuuming. I am now 75 and rarely have back discomfort."

"I have been in weekly with Kristen and she is awesome. When I started here I was in so much pain in my back, neck, hips and feet; I was suicidal. She worked with me to develop exercises and then with dry needling. We did the needling treatment twice and now I am PAIN FREE! I love this place because it has changed my whole life. This is the first time in forty years that I'm not hurting."

"After suffering from sciatica for over five years, I finally found the answer to my prayers!  With the expertise of Dr. Tracey Adler, along with trigger point dry needling, I am now free of my debilitating pain.  It is with appreciation that I have returned to my normal life and activities, including yoga classes, work, and walking everyday.  Thank you OPT Inc!"

"I am a firm believer in the healing power of dry needling!  I've used it on my psoas to keep me running and now on my shoulder to avoid surgery.  Both times, I've had amazing results!  Thank you!!"
